Salvete,
I want to know if anyone (especially the Dutch-speaking, since I assume his books haven't been translated in English or other languages) has read a book by Fik Meijer. He appears to have written books on gladiatorial bouts, and, more recently, also one about the circuses. I've browsed through it at the book shop, and while impressed at the detail and the amount of scholarship that went in it, I have the same fundamental qualms with his ideas that I also found in an interview I read with him earlier.
Any other opinions?
Valete!
